Canon continues to push forward with a Canon RF 35mm f/1.2L and RF 24mm f/1.2L

[Richard CR]

In this patent application (2026-013481), Canon has several interesting embodiments that we will explore here. These embodiments look very much like something I'd expect to see in a production halo RF 35mm f/1.2 prime. Lots of elements and dual focus groups to maximize the speed of focus, and also assist in eliminating any focus breathing […]

Is it possible these designs are intended for a high end point and shoot?

And Leica comes out with a 35mm Noctilux-M f/1.2 ASPH.

 

[Maximilian]

Looks impressing.
Can't wait so see this (or whatever Canon chooses) becoming a product.
IQ and photos will be impressing for sure.

And the stabs to my weeping heart continue

This Leica lens seems to deliver great IQ (just read PetaPixel's review)... for $10K

Your turn, Canon!

Your turn, Canon!

Canon love you, they are still improving the f/1,2 35mm to make it bigly perfect just for you! Only the very stellarly best for their beloved customer.
Be patient, in comparison, the Leica M Apo 35 will look like the bottom of a cheap wine bottle!
This I heard from a despaired, suicidal Leica lens chief-developer after he got secret insider news from Canon (believe me, it's sooo true!).

Makes me wonder what you have done to Canon that they dish out all this cruelty to you.

Treason!
He bought a Hasselblad, isn't this reason enough?

Red or white wine?

As long as it's not a rose ( )

I like rose, but I prefer wine...

And Leica comes out with a 35mm Noctilux-M f/1.2 ASPH.

The Leica lens has 10 lenses in 5 groups. This makes the lens in the patent application look extremely complex.

That's it! this is what must be transpiring... silly me for playing victim

No idea! Certainly throughout the years I have given them a lot of $$$... not like someone here but deffo more than the average customer
Must have been a few posts here and there where I was critical of Canon's decisions....

I've had 2 systems (Canon & Hassy) since 2016... I am actually a recidive in that the X2D II is the second non-Canon body I buy
But Canon has gotten cruel with me just in the last few years

You missed the acute accents on the e in rose as well the two es in the verb. He meant he liked Rosé wine.

That’s because @Del Paso had emptied a few bottles of wine before he made his post. All research to check the image quality of “a cheap wine bottle” (and possibly to drown the price of the Leica lens).

Nada, unless it's a full-frame point & shoot, which Canon would never do. The image height is FF.

I'm too lazy to search for accents, my keyboard was bought in Germany...
PS: I dislike your associating wine and rose, never the twain shall meet!
Rose is to wine what Aperol spritz is to longdrinks.

I had indeed some REAL wine, an Alsace Pinot Noir 2024. But my wife paid attention to leaving me only half a bottle.
